My Story: Brothers by Blood

As you may have guessed here is another part to My Story and this time it will be what would probably be an entire volume and movie. Takeshi and Taro have a bit of a conflict and are both reflecting on their relationship as brothers.

Opening

Takeshi hears news about demons sighted in Thailand and Vietnam. Takeshi suspects they could be there because new gems or scrolls have appeared there. Angel insists the gang should go and check it out.

Summary

Takeshi, Taro, Angel and Nina decide to head for Vietnam in order to see if Kyofusho is planning something there and investigate what mystery they'll run into. Takeshi, Taro, and Angel ride on Sova while Nina flies besides them. 

Upon arrival Taro sees a man with a tattoo that looks like he could be a demon or have involvement with the International Justice for Humanity (IJH) who are anti obake and may have been involved in the death of their father. Taro attacks him and demands to know what information he has while threatening him with a knife. Takeshi, Angel, and Nina pull him off and apologize to the man who runs away in fear calling them freaks. Takeshi tells Taro about how he is too aggressive, short tempered and doesn't think before he acts. Taro accuses Takeshi of how he doesn't jump on a chance whenever it arrives. The two argue and refuse to talk to each other for the rest of the day.

At night Angel tells Nina that Takeshi and Taro must work together as it makes them stronger. They decide to talk to each of them to get them to reconcile. Takeshi and Angel tell each other stories of their childhood and what it was like growing up as the eldest child in each family. Takeshi says he'll reconsider making up with Taro. Meanwhile Taro tells Nina of how much higher achieving Takeshi has always been and how he is tired of being in his shadow. He decides he will try and do the mission on his own causing an argument between him and Nina. Nina unties his hammock causing him to fall as she leaves.

The next day Taro sets out on his own and searches through a harbor diving down using his aquatic abilities. Angel and Nina want to try and find Taro but Takeshi says they are better without him. Taro is ambushes by Kyofusho's henchmen and tries to fight them on his own. The rest of the gang come in time to assist Taro. Takeshi and Taro argue again and decide to go their separate ways.

Days go by where Takeshi and Taro stop talking to each other. One night Taro is ambushed in the streets by the man he attacked with a gang who are shown to be part of the IJH. Taro escapes injured and limps to a hospital. Takeshi, Angel, and Nina search for him and overhear a nurse who's shift ended coming out talking about a patient who they suspect is Taro. They go in and find an injured Taro. Takeshi talks to Taro about their father and what he would want them to do. They reconcile as they know they can become heroes and help others just as their father would want them to do. Soon the same gang who attacked Taro break into the hospital. The group fight them off with Angel killing the ringleader with an arrow, but Takeshi and Taro are both severely injured and close to death. Takeshi manages to come through and leaves the hospital to help Taro heals on his own as they become weak if they stay together while wounded. The brothers have found a newfound respect and a stronger bond with each other.

Ending

Angel says she's also in the mood for something else, then she and Takeshi share a kiss. Meanwhile Taro and Nina discuss what they want out of the future if they achieve their mission. Taro says he would want to carry on his father's legacy and possibly teach them to someone he loves. Nina says she wants the same too with her parents and knows who she wants maybe spend her life with. Nina then hugs Taro and kisses his cheek.
